    This cloud, if aimed toward the Earth, approaches our planet in around 48 to 72 hours, though some can arrive much sooner.

    I didn’t realize there was that much variation in the speed stuff comes off the sun. Does it ever clump up, if fast ejections overtake slow ones?

      To give you a perspective on just how far away the sun is, if it were to blow up right now you wouldn’t even see the light from the event for another 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
